The project scope encompassed the full reconstruction of deteriorating streets, utilities, and storm sewer including a half mile section along 9thAvenue, which is a critical east-west collector through the City and one of the few crossings at the adjacent railroad corridor. The project area has significant bedrock and significant rock excavation was necessary to install the utilities.

The project area spanned two miles and included both rural and urban street improvements, watermain, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer installations. The project area was located in close proximity to Reshanau Lake and included flood control installations and other critical storm water management techniques to treat runoff prior to discharge into the lake.
